Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University Volume 28, p. Works number was 27686 in March 1906.
Locobase is puzzled by the wood-burning firebox on this logging Prairie. It seems much too small to serve the very large boiler that rode in front of it. It was designed to overcome simultaneously 2% grades and uncompensated 24-deg curves. One grade actually pitched up at 3.6%.
According to Gene Connelly's Baldwin list, the 1 was sold in 1914 to the Siskiyou Electric Power & Light Co. The SEP & L operated the engine for 25 years before selling it in 1939 to the 12-mile Central Amador Railroad, which operated on the 12-mile line between Ione and Martell, California. The CAR put it into service as the #6.
The 6 was scrapped in 1945.
